Phil Mickelson was in contention for a first LIV Golf win in Virginia but ultimately came up short, finishing two shots behind Joaquin Niemann

Phil Mickelson remains a magician with a golf club in his hands. The six-time major championship winner, who will turn 55 next week, treated a disbelieving gallery to perhaps the most improbable shot of his career — which is saying something for one of the most creative players in history — during Sunday’s weather-delayed final round of LIV Golf Virginia at Robert Trent Jones Golf Club.

Joaquin Niemann of Chile won LIV Golf Virginia on Sunday for his fourth victory in the Saudi-funded tour’s first eight events of the season.
